On May 5, 2025, Cummins reported earnings per share EPS of $4.95, slightly surpassing the estimated $4.91. This performance reflects the company's ability to manage costs and optimize operations despite revenue coming in at $8.17 billion, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $8.07 billion.

This strong performance was driven by higher-than-expected revenues from the Power Systems, Distribution, and Accelera segments. Total revenues reached $8.17 billion, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $8.07 billion, although it marked a decline from the $8.4 billion reported in the previous year.

Despite the overall positive results, the Engine segment experienced a 5% year-over-year sales decline to $2.8 billion, missing the estimate of $2.87 billion. Sales in North America and international markets decreased by 4% and 11% year-over-year, respectively, due to weaker on-highway demand in the United States and Latin America. This highlights the challenges faced by Cummins in certain market segments.
